Sociology

Discover how social forces shape human behavior — and how you can turn that commitment to understand the challenges of society into a career helping others.

In what can seem like an out-of-control world, sociologists look for patterns in social order and origins of conflict. You’ll get behind classical and contemporary theory while doing research both on your own and alongside expert faculty to help you understand how people relate and respond.

Sociology is the perfect jumping off point for graduate studies as well as careers in personnel work, community planning, survey research, social and government agencies and more. Study American social problems, ethics, religion, race and minority relations, family relationships, wellness, and more.
